WE ARE METRO DETROIT UNITED
This coming summer we will travel to Rome, Italy to attend mass with the Pope and 1.5 million other Catholic youth from all around the world!
We THANK YOU for your support and for keeping us in your prayers!
If you feel called to sponsor our upcoming events, contact Michael Novak.
As you see above, we are Metro United. We have 12 pilgrims from St. Lawrence, 9 pilgrims from JWJ (St. Jane/St. Rene) and 2 pilgrims from Our Lady Star of the Sea going on the 2025 pilgrimage. This will be my 8th WYD as a youth leader, my son's second as a youth leader, but 3rd overall. Many of the pilgrims traveling with our group in 2025 will be experiencing WYD for the first time. A few went to PortugaI. I cannot wait to see how our faith is ignited! Here is a little bit about our trip...
We are leaving on Tuesday, July 22, 2025 from Toronto, Ontario!
LAYOVER: We will have a layover in Lisbon, Portugal, where we spent two weeks for World Youth Day 2023.
We will arrive in Rome, Italy on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, and immediately board a train to take us to Pisa, Italy for a five day stay.
We will be spending 5 days, 4 nights in the northern Italy region. Our days will be filled with travel to Pisa, Florence, The Dolomite mountains, Bolzano, Italy and Innsbruck, Austria. Hopefully, we will be in contact with youth from these areas and involved in service work for local communities.
We will return to Rome on Sunday, July 27 to begin our Jubilee experience.
We will spend an entire week in Rome, Italy, totally entrenched in Jubilee activities. We will spend time with our new American pope and witness the canonization of St. Pierre Giorgio Frassati.
We will arrive back in Toronto on Wednesday, August 6, 2025.
We will be hosting a "Thank You" party for our sponsors and supporters in late August.
16 day trip..
English Version, Rendition of Voxchristi
2024 - 25 promises to be a year of adventure and growth in many ways. Spiritually, we will set our community, our country and our world on fire with that "Crazy Americano" attitude we are known for worldwide: relentless energy, service to all and deepening our individual lives through unique and innovative ministry.
OUR SUMMERS WILL BE BUSY, ADVENTUROUS, AND LIFE CHANGING! Beginning with our World Youth Day Trip to Portugal in 2023 and ending with our World Youth Day Trip to South Korea in 2027, this 5 year span will be EPIC as we share our one-of-a-kind frenzied faith with the whole of our country and world!
